Darryll Green Named GM Of CBS’s Miami Properties

Veteran local broadcasting executive Darryll Green has been named vice president and general manager of the CBS Television Stations’ Miami properties, WFOR (CBS), WBFS (MNT), CBSMiami.com and CBSN Miami, a local direct-to-consumer streaming news service that is scheduled to launch this year.

Green will assume his new responsibilities on March 8. He succeeds Adam Levy, who announced his departure in November 2020, following 10 years at the Miami stations. Tom Canedo, president and general manager of the group’s WUPA Atlanta (CW), has recently been serving as interim GM of the group’s Miami properties.

Green is joining the CBS Television Stations family with more than 30 years of experience in local broadcasting. He most recently was VP-GM of WFTX Fort Myers, Fla., since August 2017. Prior to that, he spent eight years with URBan Radio Broadcasting, including six years (2008-13) at the station group’s Miami headquarters office as VP-Chief Operating Officer.

Green’s new position represents a reunion with the CBS Television Network. From 2003 to 2007, he was president-GM of WUSA Washington, D.C., the largest-market CBS affiliate in the country.

Green’s background also includes two years as market president of URBan Broadcasting’s Toledo, Ohio, stations (2015-17), six-and-a-half years as president-GM of WGRZ, the NBC affiliate in Buffalo, N.Y. (1997-2003), and 12 years as VP-GM of WGCI-AM-FM Chicago (1985-97).

Green is a member of the board of directors of the Florida Association of Broadcasters.

Green is a Rochester, N.Y., area native who earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting from St. John Fisher College in Rochester.
